Impound Process

Pets that are found wandering on their own may be impounded by the City in order to protect the animal and the public. An impounded pet will be housed at a local veterinary hospital to ensure its safety and care while city staff works to identify and contact its owner.

To retrieve an impounded pet, the owner must pay an impound and any other applicable fees to the City of Battle Ground.
